Roku UK Channel Store - Weekly RoundUp #138

Hi, everyone !!

As has been the case throughout October, once again the additional blogging burden of my daily post for the "Countdown To Hallowe'en" today, meant there were simply not enough hours in the day for me to complete my 'Weekly RoundUp' post ahead of my (self-imposed) publishing deadline. As usual, I havemanaged to cobble together a full list of all new additions to the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store during the past seven days, but that's going to have to suffice for now. I should be able to catch-up with all the "missing" info and Roku-related news for you by tomorrow night (Sunday) but hopefully this will keep you going until then. If not, see the afore-mentioned "Countdown To Hallowe'en" post from earlier today for some more horror-related Roku content for Hallowe'en! ;-)

Meanwhile... in keeping with previous installments from the 'Weekly RoundUp' series, details of any new channels have been listed below, together with links to obtain further information {by clicking on the channel name(s) beneath the respective channel icon(s) as pictured} and to read an 'Roku Guide' review (where available) with an independent (slightly more expansive) assessment of each one:-

PLEASE NOTE:- That, because the "Cartoon Circus" channel was previously released via the "Official" Roku USA Channel Store sometime in late September 2015, you willnotsee it listed under the "New" category of the "Official" Roku UK Channel Store... and, instead, you will need to look under "Movies & TV" or "Film & TV" (or, whatever Roku are choosing to call that particular genre this week / month / year) if you'd like to add it to your own selection of channels. Of course, if you prefer, you could also use the built-in Roku 'Search' function (either from the 'Channel Store', or on the 'Homescreen' of your Roku device) in order to locate the "Cartoon Circus" channel as well. ;-)

PLEASE NOTE:- That despite requiring a payment in order to add it to Roku devices, the "Demantur" game / channel was originally available as an FREE TO DOWNLOAD APP for BlackBerry owners - VIA THIS LINK - which means that, if you happen to own an compatible BlackBerry device, you can actually try this game for free before buying the Roku version! ;-)

So, if you have access to BlackBerry, simply SCAN THE ITEM 'QR' CODE - see the image below - OR LOGIN TO YOUR ACCOUNT - HERE - as usual and download the app via 'BlackBerry World' to give the game a trial run before parting with your hard-earned cash! For those in need of assistance, here's a screenshot of the DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS from the BlackBerry website:-

N.B. ABOVE INFO RELATES TO BLACKBERRY APP - NOT THE ROKU CHANNEL !!

Meanwhile, if you've got any further questions about the "Demantur" game / channel for Roku devices (or the BlackBerry app) there's an Facebook page through which to get in touch: Demantur (Facebook) as well as the option to email the developer for further support.
